Chapter 167: Forgot Our Bet
Regarding what Wang Lao said, Yan Xi replied with a slightly tired smile and didn't say anything.
Li Lao on the side looked more and more uncomfortable.
In the process of distributing medicine, on Yan Xi's side, there were originally only Yan Xi, Yu Yang, and the five disciples of the Medicine King Valley.
These seven people, while diagnosing the patient's pulse and dispensing medicine, explained to the people behind them what should be paid attention to. The people behind them watched for about an hour, and then they replaced Yan Xi and a few people one after another, and they started it.
After changing people several times in a row, the seventeen people on Yan Xi's side have all been in contact with these patients.
Li Laogang has been waiting to see Yan Xi and them make mistakes, especially when they replace those who were not sure of the original, the expectation in Li Lao's heart has reached a peak. However, for four hours, none of the seventeen people made the slightest mistake.
On the contrary, it was Li Lao's side, because of his restlessness, there were several mistakes, if it weren't for Yan Xi, who was drinking tea and resting on the side, to remind him, I was afraid that he would cause a big disaster today.
The more Li Lao thought about it, the more depressed he became, and when he got up, he had to go back to his room to rest first.
"Old man, you're just leaving? Have you forgotten our bet? ”
Seeing that Li Lao was about to leave, Yan Xi would let him go easily.
Hearing Yan Xi's voice, Old Li's body trembled. Turning around, his face flushed with anger.
"What's going on? You're a lot old, but you don't dare to be so angry. If you get angry, you may fall asleep one day. ”
Yan Xi's words pierced his heart more than one sentence, so that Li Lao couldn't say a word.
"Old man, our bet is that we win, and when you see us later, take a detour. It's not that after you lose, you are not allowed to say a word in front of us. ”
Yan Xi smiled and kindly reminded Li Lao.
"You...... You...... Burst. ”
Li Lao Pai was tired for four hours, and it took a lot of energy and physical strength. And because of the influence of the gambling contract with Yan Xi, I have always been a little uneasy. Now that he was stimulated by Yan Xi's words, he vomited blood directly.
When Yan Xi stopped Li Lao, everyone else in the pharmacy avoided it one after another.
This elder of the Medicine King Valley is clearly looking for trouble with Elder Li, if they join in the fun here, Elder Li can't do anything to Yan Xi and them, but it's still no problem to clean up these people.
Therefore, in order to prevent being hated by Li Lao, everyone retired first.
Elder Wang and Elder Chen were worried that something would happen, so they stayed for a while.
"It's getting late today, so it's better for you to go back and rest first, and then we'll discuss the next direction of attack tomorrow."
Seeing that Li Lao was angry and vomited blood, Yang Shen General was worried that something would happen, and immediately spoke out to break the current situation.
"That's fine, everyone goes back to rest first, recuperates their spirits, and will know how to proceed with the next step of diagnosis and treatment tomorrow."
Chen Lao, who was about to speak, heard General Yang say this, looked at the faces of Yan Xi and the others, and followed General Yang's words.
After saying this, he called two medicine boys and helped Li Lao to walk towards his room.
Yan Xi looked at Li Lao, who was taken away, and did not stop him.
Anyway, the old man had already learned his lesson, and she didn't want to dwell on it any more. What's more, after a tiring day today, instead of worrying with an old man, it is better to go back and lie in bed and sleep well.
So, the two medicine boys successfully helped Li Lao back to his room.
In order to prevent problems at night, Wang Lao and the others lived in the pharmacy.
However, Yan Xi and his party had a lot of people and couldn't live in the pharmacy at all, so General Yang took them back to the City Lord's Mansion.
When I arrived at the Castle Lord's Mansion, the guest room and the hot water for bathing were ready. When they went to the quarantine area, although they did a good job of protection, they stayed for so long after all, just in case, they still needed to be thoroughly disinfected with medicated baths.
After everyone had cleaned up their inside and out, they didn't even have the strength to eat dinner, so they lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
As soon as it was dawn the next day, Yan Xi woke up. After washing, he took the record he borrowed from Chen Lao yesterday and read it carefully.
Chen Lao's record is very detailed, from the beginning of the patient to the infection, the gradual aggravation of the disease, until death, and even the changes in the body after death, this record is recorded.
Thinking back to the process of diagnosing the pulse when dispensing medicine to those patients infected with the plague yesterday, Yan Xi's heart became more and more sure that this unwarranted disaster in Pingcheng was not a plague in the ordinary sense at all. Although the speed of the outbreak was swift and widespread, and the characteristics of one person infecting another were very similar to those of the previous plagues, there was a fundamental difference.
Rather than saying that this disaster in Pingcheng was a plague, Yan Xi preferred to say that they were poisoned.
The source of this poison is probably also from those medicine people in the Medicine King Valley, but I am afraid that those medicine people passed through Pingcheng when they were sent out by Yan Song on a mission, and left the poison on their bodies somewhere in Pingcheng.
Later, probably before the poison dissipated, the people of Heisei City accidentally touched it.
Those poisonous people in the Medicine King Valley were all strong men, and before refining, they all used the medicine to adjust the state of their bodies to the best state.
Even so, I don't know how many people didn't survive those poisons and lost their lives in the end.
What's more, it's an ordinary person in Pingcheng? Even if the poison had been reduced a lot by the time he touched it, it was still not something his body could bear.
As a result, the symptoms of poisoning erupted in an instant. Later, the body slowly adapts to the toxicity, and the symptoms gradually disappear. But without a continuous supply of poisonous herbs to feed them, they will eventually die under the backlash of the poison.
That's why some people die in an instant when they catch the plague. But some people can delay for a long time, knowing that all the physical symptoms are gone, and then slowly die.
Yan Xi happened to have seen poisonous people in the Medicine King Valley, and he had also come into contact with patients who thought he was infected with the plague, and he had done special research, so he made a judgment in a short time.
But the doctors who came to Pingcheng before only knew about the poisonous people in the words of others, and they didn't have any concept at all.
Therefore, when they saw the situation of these patients in Heicheng, they did not think about poisoning at all. Because of this, they have not made any progress so far.
"Poisoned?"
When Yan Xi took people to the quarantine area, Wang Lao and the others had just had lunch. As soon as they heard what Yan Xi said, the faces of several people were all the same ugly.
"Miss Yan, how did you come to this conclusion?"
For Yan Xi's judgment, several elders couldn't believe it at all. But when they thought that there had been no progress for so many days, they couldn't help but want to hear Yan Xi's thoughts.
When the medicine was distributed yesterday, they also saw Yan Xi's performance in their eyes, and the focused expression and skillful pulse diagnosis technique did not look like a teenage girl could have at all.
Therefore, they also paid more and more attention to Yan Xi in their hearts.
If this were said to any other person today, they would have rebuked him a few times. But because these words came from Yan Xi's mouth, they couldn't help but believe two points.
If it is really as Yan Xi said, these people are poisoned. Aren't they all going in the wrong direction? Not to mention wasting so many medicinal materials, it also delayed so much time in vain.
"You see, here's how these patients reacted when they got sick. Most of them died of anger as soon as they were infected, and some of them lasted for a while and didn't survive. There are very few people who can hold on until all the symptoms on their bodies disappear and their bodies turn into pus and blood. ”
Yan Xi took out the record he borrowed from Chen Lao yesterday and pointed to one of the records for Wang Lao and the disciples of the Medicine King Valley to see.
"You are looking at this, this is the previous account of the plague. Almost all the plagues, like the Heijo plague, did not have any warning, and suddenly there was a large-scale outbreak. Moreover, in the records of these plagues, the patients' illnesses ranged from mild to severe, and no one ever died in the early stages. ”
After Yan Xi saw that everyone had gone to read those records carefully, he took out a few more records about the many plagues over the years that he found in the library of the City Lord's Mansion. pointed to the content of the book and analyzed it for Wang Lao and others.
Before Yan Xi and the others came, Wang Lao and the others had also flipped through the records of the plague over the years, and they had also noticed that something was wrong with this plague at that time. But at that time, all parties came to help, and under the arguments with each other, all the doubts in Wang Lao's heart were dispelled. Now that Yan Xi brought it up again, Wang Lao's face also changed slightly.
Chen Lao on the side, his face was even more ugly, and he thought that he should have thought of one place with Wang Lao.
Seeing the change in the expressions of these people, Yan Xi took out another booklet, which was recorded as an introduction to poisonous people.
This book was brought out by Yan Xi in the medicine library that day.
Because the poisonous person has been completely banned, even Wang Lao and these people have only heard about it from the mouths of some seniors, and they have never seen relevant records, let alone why the poisonous person was banned, and even made so many people's faces change greatly as soon as they heard these two words.
Now that he saw the booklet that Yan Xi took out, and carefully read the page that he had turned several times, Wang Lao and the others finally knew. Wang Lao and Chen Lao's faces turned pale for a moment, and when they raised their heads to look at Yan Xi, there were still three points of fear in their eyes.
In this booklet, the introduction of the poisoner and its details. Moreover, it is also clearly recorded what kind of reaction will occur in those test products during the refining process of the poisoner.
That reaction is clearly faintly similar to the situation of the patients of this plague.
Why did such a secret thing appear in the hands of a little girl like Yan Xi?
Sensing the gaze of Wang Lao and Chen Lao, Yan Xi knew that they must have some doubts about themselves in their hearts, but she didn't give any explanation.
How does she explain the current situation? Said that Yan Song, the former valley master of the Medicine King Valley, was found refining poisoners, and then she was fortunate enough to experience it, so she knew something?
